From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
One of the oldest hydroelectric dams in the world still in operation, built in 19th century. No tours, only visible from outside, there is platform for sightseeing to the south however view is obscured by trees.
Well stocked shop on early part of the canoe trail. It has everything you need for your travel needs.
Only restaurant in the park, serves fish and deer.
Not very useful camp site at start of canoe trail in the park. Probably the only camp site with reachable amenities (1.5 km to nearest large grocery shop).
Well provided camp site with wooden shelters and fireplaces located on top of a hill, it will be hard to push kayak to the top, while illegal many people leave their kayak near the river. No mobile connection
Located in quite scenic location with nice view of Drawa river. Wooden shelters for preparing foods. Close to the river so may be a bit cool.
Located close to the water in a valley, so a bit cool and swampy, not so far from previous camp site. Well stocked with wood, two wooden shelters. No mobile connection. There is a thief who steals money and supplies, beware and put night watch if you can.
similar to Barnimie located on a small hill so you will need to bring your kayaks uphill, as there is not much place close to the river.
Last camp site before leaving the park. Camp sites outside park have no supplies or are more expensive so it may be worth a try.
Place where you can buy all required tickets and permits. Also there are few souvenirs and little park museum.
By train
You can reach Choszczno by PKP Intercity from major cities or Kalisz Pomorski by Polregio from smaller towns or Krzyż Wielkopolski by both.
By bike
There are few bike trails inside the park which you can traverse. There is close to no traffic on the roads. However there is only one bike rental in Łasko outside the park.
By canoe
There are several companies that offer canoes to rent complete with transport and retrieval. Book in advance, remember about park fee and camping tickets.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
